My Project

I have an amazing group of 5th graders who are excited to come to school and learn about US History. They have been setting goals and working hard to achieve them.

I love to see the joy in their eyes when they are able to achieve the goals they have set!

They are so proud of themselves! I would like to provide a fun and unique way for them to earn personal and class incentives throughout the year for when they accomplish those goals.

With teaching 30+ students, having their own clipboards would help provide flexibility in seating or working in groups with others. The low-profile ones are so much easier to store. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will help me supplement my American History units and provide creative, hands-on activities. My students are eager to learn and ready to be successful - and having additional tools to help them get there would accelerate the process!
